nope
Trying to turn a lemon into lemonade. That dog won’t hunt. You can’t unring a bell.
No, because the rest of the country knows exactly what Cruz meant about “New York values”. Even Northern New Yorkers know about the attitudes of the people in New York City.
I think everyone understood what Cruz meant. Trump’s clever rhetorical trick was to interpret ‘NY Values’ differently in order to turn it to his advantage.
Have the Pro-Cruz brigades taken over Free Republic? Wow. The Propaganda is almost relentless here.
I have to wonder if it’s all just some undercover RAT operation.
In fact, Ted Cruz is a no-name Senator with no record of accomplishing anything. He might appeal to hard-core conservatives who use some kind of check-list to pick their candidates, but he has no hope in the general election against Hillary.
To try and dislodge the man who’s leading him 2 to 1 is the RATS dream - and you people are doing your best to help them accomplish it. Congratulations.
New York is America's heart.
I know this because I lived there.
You have to have lived in New York to understand the truth of Cruz’s comment. I did and I understand. Nothing like the western US.
IMHO, this is being way over thought and over publicized.
Trump said that not a lot of evangelicals come from Cuba. Cruz countered with not a lot of conservatives come from New York.
Tempest in a teapot.
Strategy? Ted was clapping at the the end of Trumps response. Trap? LOL.
Everyone knows who Trump in and his background. Trump’s response will help him win NY in the general election.
Donald Trump is the NY values candidate. The early primaries are front-loaded with folks who do not look to kindly on NY liberalism or NY arrogance. Now Trump has forever associated himself with the crime and corruption liberal culture of NY. Trump should have admitted that NY values are liberal and he having lived all his life there knows how evil it is and having grown wiser in his advanced years he hates NY values but loves the people... Blah blah blah. Cruz will benefit on the this more than Trump with all his faux rage and NY’ers obnoxious vitriol.
BOOM! Trump sees everything. BOOM! He can’t be set up. BOOM!
BOOM!
I like many things about Trump, but it is really rich to hear him accuse others of being insulting.

Trump can do no wrong!
Trump’s irrlevant response to Cruz’s “New York Values” statement was the equivalent of a Liberal trying to play the Race Card.
The people here who thought Trump looked good and that Cruz erred have their heads so far up Trump’s rear it’s pathetic. These people are not only NOT conservatives, but they have no business being anywhere near a voting booth.
As Levin pointed out, you’d have to be a moron not to know that Cruz wasn’t referring to Cops or rescue workers or anything to do with 9/11. He was referring to the liberal culture and mindset while pointing out Trump’s LONG connection to it.
Guess that means we can’t talk about the Washington Cartel anymore since Trump will bring up the Pentagon. Maybe we can’t talk about Hollywood values because Trump will talk about the San Bernadino tragedy.
Trump’s a loser and a clown. I’m glad I’m smart enough to figure this out.
This dumb attack will cost Cruz votes in Florida (full of retired New Yorkers).
Everyone already knows that Trump is from New York.
This attack just makes Cruz look dumb and mean.
Maybe he should bad mouth the terrorists with the time he still has. He should leave New Yorkers alone.
Just a quick “NY values” rundown:

New York, like California and other libtard dens, is a lost cause to conservatives.
Trump may have endeared himself for a moment to liberals but reminding conservatives that he is a New Yorker doesn’t gain him anything.
